C.32.ACS:4.2 - Criteria-set construction

Work in this order:

  1. Name the described holon, architecture use, and improvement cycle or one-pass eval use. Connect the receiving role and situation to a needed result, the quality that matters, the structural alternatives that could change it, and an attainable observation. Keep a Method, its description, a performed Work occurrence and the performing System distinct when choosing that bearer. For every proposed row, bind the claim scope and selected context slices, effective reference scheme and plane, and qualification or evaluation window. Designate a selected A.1.1 BoundedModelUseStructure only when it independently changes that row’s interpretation.
  2. Start from a C.32.HCS starter pack when the project has no draft criteria rows yet. Use source catalogues only as input, not as the criteria set.
  3. Build draft project criteria rows. There may be dozens of draft rows when broad scanning is needed, but each row must have a possible bearer, use reason, and pattern for the next question.
  4. For each source or starter head, decide whether it is one architecture characteristic, one C.25 Q-Bundle, one Q-Bundle slot, or only source vocabulary.
  5. Narrow the optimization-indicator core. Three to five rows is an attention heuristic. More rows require a use reason, such as a regulated trade-off study or a multi-team decision. Preserve every applicable non-compensable constraint and necessary guardrail; the small core does not limit their number.
  6. Classify remaining admitted rows as monitoredGuardrail or contextOnly. A guardrail protects against a loss caused by optimizing another row; a context-only row helps interpretation but does not drive optimization now.
  7. Bind each admitted row to bearer or selected structure, scale form, polarity, current reading or no-reading reason, proxy risk, protected counter-characteristics, receiving use, and source-return condition.
  8. Reference C.32.ACE only after the row exists and an eval program is needed for current characterization, candidate comparison, monitoring, or preparing inputs for A.19.SelectorMechanism.
  9. Reopen the criteria set when the holon family changes, a B.2 whole reidentification changes the bearer, a guardrail degrades, an eval program no longer fits its declared parity frame, or the source-currentness relation changes the acceptable trade-off.
